This was the greatest experience I've felt in very a long time. The last episode wasn't just a wrap up, but an answer to all the questions that hadn't even been asked. It was an intersection between every episode from all seasons leaving me with no words. It has everything. Just could be fooled into thinking that the storytelling would be sacrificed for the incredible animations and drawings, but no. It's unpredictable. The episode doesn't rely on a cliche play on our feelings. Instead, the ending was beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. I wholeheartedly thank everyone that has been apart of the making of this series.

Now this is entertainment!

I've not been particularly a fan since the beginning, though I've seen lots of snippets of the show on social media, YouTube, and so forth. But I must say, this series really got it.

I started by cracking up at all the jokes Michael made, not really thinking anything more of them. It was easy to follow and very interesting since I'm a very early adult with an office job.

This show, however, transcended into something more. It was like the entire show kept its original style while still giving a lot more in every aspect. It gets deeper, diving into interesting elements of emotion and new perspectives on the individuals, unlike other sit-coms where it's just a new "adventure" for the same characters.

You can clearly feel how the show turns, not in the beginning of each season but in the middle of them, and especially in the latter ones. It switched from funny pranks and randomness to serious dilemmas for the characters, including the film crew!

My biggest wish right now is not to see more seasons but to thank the ones making this show, from the directing team to the actors. The Office is what I call great entertainment. Good job.

This experience stands as one of the best I've had in a long time.

Let me share a bit of my perspective:

I'm not a Cyberpunk gamer, and I certainly don't delve into the world of anime. Not because I dislike the idea, but simply because I haven't been exposed to that realm. However, fate intervened one day as I scrolled through Netflix and paused on a snippet from "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners", featuring Lucy's daring train heist. At first glance, I dismissed it as just another flashy anime, full of explosions, fights and lack off substance.

On a separate note, my musical preferences lean towards instrumentals and soundtracks, many of which I've never associated with specific shows or movies. This included the theme of "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners", a piece I had unknowingly enjoyed for months. It wasn't until I stumbled upon a piano cover of "I Really Want to Stay at Your House," the series' main theme, that I realized its origin. Reading the comments, I found a grateful viewer expressing how the music had profoundly moved them, deepening their connection to the series. This revelation led me to explore "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners".

From the outset, I found myself enthralled. While the series' setting and atmosphere may seem basic, its richness lies in its profound emotional resonance. We may know little about Night City, the backdrop of the story, but we gain deep insights into the characters and their motivations, immersing us in the narrative. Admittedly, the plot's rapid pace initially left me bewildered, prompting me to seek a summary of the first episode. Yet, once clarified, I was utterly captivated.

The visuals and color grading of the series are nothing short of brilliant. The juxtaposition of dark purple reminiscent of the '90s retro era and vibrant yellow akin to crime scene tape creates a visually stunning experience. Despite the series being age-restricted due to its graphic content, the visuals consistently kept me engaged, steering clear of predictability.

Needless to say, the music, sound effects, and voice acting are impeccable. Speaking specifically of the English version, Giancarlo Esposito's performance stands out, adding depth to the characters, and is thus "the cherry on top". The soundtrack, though fantastic, didn't entirely capture the typical cyberpunk vibe for me. Instead, it conveyed a powerful emotional resonance, aligning perfectly with the series' themes. In other words, I believe Samuel Kim's version is the right fit since it depicts more of the series pathos than the original.

Romance, a pivotal element, is woven intricately into the narrative, fostering a deep emotional connection with each character. What struck me was not just what we know about them, but what we don't. The characters communicate in cryptic ways, leaving room for interpretation and self-reflection, enriching the viewing experience.

In the grand scheme, the show doesn't demand prior knowledge of its references. It's a masterpiece that caters to both seasoned players and newcomers, offering various layers of interpretation. The visuals set the tone immaculately, while the emotional depth becomes the bedrock of the series, allowing viewers to construct their own unique narratives. I eagerly anticipate delving into other reviews and articles, knowing that each perspective will add new dimensions to this exceptional series.
